Pre-season specialist Haris Vučkić joins FC Twente

The hassling of the first player and robbery of the second for the Shola chance kicked away near the line was fucking class, exactly the sort of thing you want to see. He wasn't outstanding per se but it was a promising performance. For me, better than he played against Accrington and against far better players.

that reminded me of Bowyer a bit, setting up shola at liverpool.

He seems like the kind of player that will be awesome going forward BUT not do a great deal when the opposition has the ball

A luxury player like Riquelme if you like

Not at all, if Wednesday was anything to go by.

Didn't people say he was fast? I mentioned this in the match thread, but the times I've seen him it looks like he's running in mud. The body parts are moving, but he's just not going anywhere.

don't think anyone has said he is fast. he's certainly big and strong but from the sounds of what binnsy etc have said he'll need to learn to use his physical attributes more.

He seemed fairly quick when he won the ball and advanced into the Chelsea box

Very much don't agree with Geordie Ahmed.

I thought he displayed a great desire to get the ball when it was in his general vicinity.  He closed down really well with a lot of very quick movements and went in pretty hard even when he shouldn't have.

Gotta remember aswell he's just gone 18, and was playing alongside Smith against a midfield costing around £40 million. Think we should reserve judgement just yet, especially when you consider just how much Carroll came on in just a 6 month spell 3 years on from where Vuckic is in his career.

He reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo

Spot on. Considering he is a 'creative' player I thought he acquitted himself superbly. Worked hard when we didn't have, always showing for the ball when we did.

I didnt watch the match so cant comment on that

Though I watched the reserves against Chelsea and he didnt offer much support to Newton - though he was playing out of position at RM

I do like the look of him and he seems to have some quality about him - reckon it might be worth sending him out on loan for a little while

I don't think this was posted, but he's recieved his first international call-up.

Will be up against Edmundsson when they play the Faroes.

Awesome, really happy for him, hope it helps him.

Want to see more of him. Looked good against Chelsea, should definitely play in the Arsenal cup game.

might see Vuckic get more chances now that HBA is out......

No he wont..just means Nolan will 1000 percent defo be starting every game now.To be honest from the few matches I have seen Vuckic I dont think hes ready.

......anyways, noticed he was called up to the Slovenia senior squad the other day for the Euro qualifiers

Whether he's ready or not I can't see how he could contribute less to the game than Nolan does.

Just seen that on nufc.com. Cracking stuff.

I posted his selection 3 days ago, ahead of the game.

It is amazing how many people don't read posts, even just a few above.

I don't think he'll get his chance to play for Slovenia in this term. We have many midfielders. Now that Ilicic and Bacinovic are playing regularly for Palermo and doing well, there won't be any space left for Haris. And we also have Koren, Radosavljevic, Birsa, Kirm all ahead of him.

But if we're winning maybe he'll get his chance. We'll see. I wouldn't mind if he replaced Koren. Maybe we could try him as SS, because in attack we're lacking quality at the moment.

The cynicist in me thought straight away he'd only been called in to cap-tie him in the Faroes game. Put an end to the talks of Bosnia nabbing him.

Probably true...

Does my head in as well

I see Haris got picked for the Slovenia squad:
